VistaCrew

Just stumbled upon TechCrunch and discovered this newly launched web search engine - Cuil. Cuil is a revolutionary search engine which claimed to be the biggest search engine on the planet where it is able to search more pages than Google, MSN Live Search and etc, having over 120 billion indexed pages … Interesting… However, I’d done a little experiment on it and found that it doesn’t really seem true… I typed “vista crew”, but doesn’t seem getting any results for this site you’re reading… Hey! “vista crew” in Google ranked 3rd! LOL! Typed “vista-crew” to re-test and guess what? Cuil didn’t found any results for this keyword! It’s on 1st place in Google man! Haha… Anyway, Cuil is just an infant coming out recently, thus improvements are imminent.

Personally, I think their layout design is quite cool. Search results are displayed in grid-like columns instead traditional rows. Detailed quotes of contents are visible and it includes images from searched sites also! if any… Cuil also has a unique feature where you can navigate through other different suggested keywords at the “Explore by category” widget beside. It also has a “Safe Search” feature where you can filter out pornography or “illegal” sites out. Typing suggestion is also available… Overall, it’s clean and stylish… but, more search result should be included in one page despite merely 8 to 10 results per page.

It could boast a threat to Google! Why? because the founders of Cuil are ex-Googlers… ha… and the backgrounds of these guys behind Cuil are really experts and professional guys… PhDs in Computer Science, Mathematics, AIs… Woah… A truly interesting and priomising startup to watch.

*UPDATES: Cuil is “HOT” now as there’s many people testing it! Thus, their server was overloaded! LOL! So if you encountered unavailability, be patient to wait for their service to go back online…

We love ice blended… but hey, do you ever imagined an iPhone being blended? Absolutely true… Somemore it’s the totally NEW iPhone 3G!!! OMFG! This guy from Blendtec queued and bought an iPhone… and he wanted to blend away his old 1st generation iPhone… But guess what? He’s mis-blended! LOL! Funny! Do take a glimpse at the video itself!

There had been rumors about Maxis’ intention to bring in the highly anticipated Apple iPhone 3G into Malaysia very soon… and guess what? the price is rumored to be less than a “grand” (1K)! in Malaysian Ringgit! The iPhone had started selling over the U.S with price starting from USD 199 last week… and that’s only RM650 approx! Wow… if the rumors are true, it will sure making a big hit over the country… and you will definitely see long queues in front of Maxis centres with enthusiasts “camping” for the debut sale of the iPhone… Well, tat’s just guessing. But hey! If the price is right, sure I will get one also! But I think the iPhone will be bundled with new Maxis line subscription… Also, if it’s gonna be true, the other local telcos will sure be quite nervy to see Maxis enjoying the slice of cake… Maybe perhaps other telcos will also join up to roll out the iPhone? Who knows?

Remember the previous posts about the rumored Dell 1535/1735 laptops? Well, it’s officially launched in Malaysia tagged as the new “Studio” line of laptops! It’s interesting to see that Dell rolling out more interesting products and the Studio line is believed to fill up the gap between the Inspiron and XPS line whereas stylish designed laptops are offered at affordable prices! But somehow, it could mean that the Inspiron would be heading towards budget entry lines of laptop series rather than a major consumer product…

As expected, the new line of products consists of Studio 15 (1535) and Studio 17 (1735) (15″ and 17″ screen respectively). But hey, where is the 14″? probably later? Anyway, the Studio line laptops are equipped with full HD graphics! with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 256MB chip! Wow… And also new colour options like Tangerine Orange and Plum Purple! and also glossy surface around the panels… You could also choose your choice of trimming colours! Cool! For the rest, most designs are inherited from the XPS 1530 series… with exception of the new L-shaped hinge.
